What is different about building here

Building conditions change from one part of Brisbane to another. These are the ones that matter in this area.

  • Three councils across the area

    Brisbane City Council, Logan City Council and Redland City Council all cover parts of the southside. The rules that decide approval are state-level and the same across all three, but each has its own planning scheme on top. We lodge with whichever council your address falls under.

  • Character overlays in the older suburbs

    Coorparoo, Camp Hill, Holland Park and the older parts of Mount Gravatt carry character overlays on many streets. The overlay belongs to the property, whatever you are building, and it changes what council will approve. We check the address before we quote.

  • Bayside exposure

    Wynnum, Manly and the Redlands foreshore need the same coastal specification as the northern bay suburbs. Salt air decides whether a structure still looks right in five years.

Suburbs we cover

  • Carindale
  • Mount Gravatt
  • Holland Park
  • Wynnum
  • Manly
  • Capalaba
  • Cleveland
  • Victoria Point
  • Springwood

  • Beenleigh

If your suburb isn't listed, call and ask. Our area doesn't stop neatly at suburb lines.

Your council, and what it wants

More than one council covers this area: Brisbane City Council, Logan City Council, Redland City Council. The three things that decide approval are the same across South East Queensland. They are mean height, boundary setback and any overlay over your property.

You can build to within 500mm of a boundary with your neighbour's written agreement, and approval usually runs 2–6 weeks.

We prepare the drawings, lodge the application and deal with the council, whichever one it is.

With your neighbour's written agreement, the setback can come down to 500mm.
